Useful and informative, although we've heard most of this already. It was important that he emphasized keeping in practice with hand-flying, even for very experienced pilots, but in briefly mentioning why hand-flying isn't practiced more, he completely blew off what I thought was a major factor in that: airlines don't WANT you to hand-fly, one of the main reasons being, supposedly, better gas mileage. Is it time for regulators to mandate a certain amount of hand-flying by pilots so that they won't get fired for doing it? (Given the pilot shortage, it seems unlikely that ppl should lose their jobs for it.)
